Really, is it THAT important how many posts you've got? I agree with the negativing post no's to posts with no relevance or just a smilie though. This would keep each thread much more interesting. I guess that being said, the number of postings would then be valuable.

1.) While working, have you ever finished your hamburger while it was still warm? (Y-N)
The correct answer is NO; Are they supposed to be heated?

2.) When you just want to sit down and watch a film for fun, do you want to get up to fix the focus, framing, etc. even though you are not working? (Y-N)
The correct answer is YES, because those dopes up there don't what they are doing!

2) Yes! I have been known to walk, uninvited, into random booths to fix problems for myself.

3) E I never give the general public the correct terms for the projector anymore. The big camera, the tape, the machine that goes clackety clack!

Yes, all the time. It is extremely rare for something to go wrong and I don't have changeovers to screw with.

Are you referring to my screening room or an actual theater?
Screening room...no problems, but I would get up to tweek something if need be.
Commercial theater...I do not go to these anymore during normal business hours. I've given up on the noisy customers and the incompetence in the booth.

3.) If someone is talking to you about a projector, but they keep calling it a "camera" do you:
A) Loose interest in talking to this looser. B) Say loudly; "PROJECTOR; IT'S CALLED A PROJECTOR!!" C) Roll your eyes, but say nothing. D) Hack them to death with a kitchen knife.
The correct answer is D... no, wait, I really meant C, yes, C, that's the one.... D and C rhyme, so I got confused.....

None of the above. I prefer the slower method of death via those little stainless steel hot dog tweezers from the concession stand! In a pinch however, I will use a Tensabarrier like a baseball bat.

yeah, i do tend to want to go fix things when i'm watching a show. i do it at our own theatre, but i only WANT to do it at other ones.

final question: i call the big one 'bitey'.....
